A very simple way to enjoy running, it seems almost superfluous to say, is to avoid injury. Running should be fun and a desire to improve oneself, but if it turns into an alternative and creative way to hurt oneself something is not working.<\/p>\n
To avoid unpleasantness-while having to take into account that, sooner or later, something can go wrong-you can follow these simple rules.<\/p>\n
Caught up in enthusiasm and initial results, many think they can safely overdo it. It is a trap that so many end up in: going from being part of the couch upholstery to being able to run for more and more miles can give a certain feeling of omnipotence. Instead, it is in these early stages that one must be most careful not to overdo it because a body accustomed to a sedentary lifestyle needs time to adapt to radical life changes. In short, however elated you feel about the results, don’t think you have discovered the new Kipchoge<\/a> in you: the chances of that really being the case, sorry to say, are next to zero.<\/p>\n The wisest attitude is to approach running gradually, especially in the early stages. It will help you to avoid injury and stress on your body, and above all, to never lose the enthusiasm to train.<\/p>\n Speaking of the really cool ones: remember when you were a teenager and you were crazy about some singer or actor? They were idols and maybe you had their poster in your room. As an adult not much changes, there is perhaps just more discretion in manifesting these passions. You would never put a poster of a world marathon champion in your room (although as a Facebook profile picture you might have had an idea…) however, you certainly take an interest in How they train.<\/a> Do not even think vaguely of imitating their workloads: they put up with them because they are used to them. Instead, what you need to do is to follow a program that gradually leads you to run more and more loosely and consciously. How? Following our easy-to-follow program to start running<\/a>, especially if you have recently started running or are thinking of trying.<\/p>\n A body that has been accustomed to inactivity for too long is weak not only in the legs but just about everywhere. That’s why it’s important to alternate running workouts with some preparation and strengthening of the rest of your body, practicing core<\/a>, for example.<\/p>\nDon’t imitate the strong ones<\/h3>\n
Don’t neglect the core<\/h3>\n
